Tree fell on car, NEED help ?

Question

So the old and huge oak tree in our front yard has taken another victim...our neighbors car. Thankfully it wasn't my head....because we have worried for some time that it was going to fall over my room.

So....I have no idea what to do, where to start, who does what, how much is this going to cost....the questions go on and on and on.

Does anyone know of anything or anyone that could help?

I guess at this point we need to do several things- get the tree moved from our neighbors car, cut up and taken away and then we also need to have the remaining part of the tree that is still standing...which is a lot....to be cut down too.

Any info would be a great deal of help.
